“…The same thing happened to the implementation of the COVID-19 vaccination policy in Indonesia, which also reaped the pros and cons of cyber society. 20 This is further supported by freedom of expression and the opportunity to hide identity on social media. People in anonymity develop tendencies toward greater aggression and violence.…”

Background and purpose: The policy of implementing and expanding smoke free area (kawasan tanpa rokok/KTR) in several locations in the City of Bandung has become a topic that is highlighted by the community. Community response is an essential component in succeeding policy implementation. This study examines how the culture of cyber society responds to the implementation and extension of the KTR in the city of Bandung Methods: This study uses a qualitative method with a netnographic strategy. Three posts were selected according to the criteria for the research objectives, including: @prfmnews posts, @infobandungraya, and @infobdg.com. Instagram is selected as the research data source because, according to the Ministry of Communication and Information (Kominfo), it is the most popular social media in Indonesia. Indeed, every post and information on it has the potential to attract various groups. Several concepts and theories in this study relate to the diffusion of innovation, information literacy, cognitive dissonance theory, and selective process theory. Results: This study found some of the contra arguments were conducting tobacco control is false propaganda; other regulations are more urgent than KTR; the leading cause of dirty air is vehicles; local regulation on KTR is ambiguous, and smoking is part of individual rights. In the pro category, the communities are supportive, especially those who are passive smokers and feel discomfort with cigarette smoke conditions. Information and digital literacy related to cigarettes are factors that trigger individual responses to hoaxes and conspiratorial information about cigarettes. Denial to the reality of the dangers of smoking illustrates how the process of cognitive dissonance occurs in smokers who try to justify their actions for various reasons. The cyber community has experienced selective exposure to the KTR and the diffusion of innovations in the KTR should be considered. Conclusion: Based on the research findings, the researcher suggests that the government should pay attention to the stages of persuasion and promotion of KTR policies to achieve public obedience to the applicable local regulations.

“…For this reason, netnography is presented to explore and understand more about social media phenomena. Karolina & Zarkasi (2022) refer to Kozinets, mentioning nethnography is a qualitative method that seeks to understand cultural experiences reflected in social media footprints, practices, networks, and systems. This cultural experience can be involved, communicated, and reflected on, thus forming the three basic elements of netnography: investigation, interaction, and immersion.…”

“…Polemics around incidents of sexual violence on campus then also occurred in the general public, especially with the presence of digital media, which made a discourse develop quickly and expand. Various comments and discussions took place in various media, especially social media, which ultimately became a forum for conveying various opinions and could become a source of input for various government policies (Karolina & Zarkasi, 2022). It would be interesting to do further research on how the community responds to the issue regarding the Minister of Education and Culture.…”

The controversy over the Minister of Education and Culture Regulation (Permendikbudristek) Number 30 of 2021 on the Prevention and Handling of Sexual Violence in Higher Education is interesting to study. Criticism of this regulation, among others, Article 5, which carries the phrase “without the consent of the victim”, raises the meaning of legalizing immoral acts and consent-based free sex. Along with this polemic, reports and news about sexual violence in colleges have also emerged. This debate also occurs in society, especially with the presence of digital media, which makes a discourse grow fast and expand. Various comments and discussions occurred in various media, especially social media. This research using the concept of participatory culture aims to get an overview of public comments through the social media Twitter #permendikbud30, which contains uploads and comments regarding the controversy over Permendikbudristek Number 30 of 2021 and will be carried out through netnography studies. Finally, the results of the analysis show a picture of the diversity of people’s perspectives in giving their opinions, namely: (a) by analogy with verses in the Quran; (b) there are many cases whose handling is not in favor of the victim and a firm law is needed; (c) educational institutions have not been responsive in handling cases that have occurred; (d) there is still polarization in politics, especially related to identity politics and (e) support for the relevant ministries for the ratification of this regulation is an important contribution to handling cases of sexual violence in the campus.
